The Phenomenon of Faster Daylight Every November 3

VIVA – It turns out that every November 3, there is unusual natural phenomenon that occur on other dates and months. There will be a faster daylight phenomenon.

As quoted from the official BRIN website, the cause of this phenomenon happens because the larger time averaging value is more positive, so the sun will reach its highest point earlier than the usual days of the year.

"The phenomenon of faster daylight every November 3 due to the greater time value so that the Sun will transit faster than usual days," wrote the statement on the Instagram account @lapan_ri quoted by VIVA Tekno on Thursday, November 3, 2022.

When the sun rises, the sun becomes faster. For Muslims, the Fajr and Duha prayers (when the sun's altitude reaches +4.5) are earlier, especially for southern Indonesia.

In addition to sunrise, the phenomenon will also affect the time of sunset, including sunset and evening time, even the end of astronomical twilight to be faster than normal days, especially in northern Indonesia.

For information, the average time is difference between True Solar Time and Average Solar Time. There are two factors that affect the axis of time, the Earth's axis and the Earth's orbital curvature.

At that time, the Earth's axial tilt will weigh the balance towards its maximum (September-December and June) where the transit is faster.

The next factor is the elliptical shape of the Earth's orbit, which is not yet a perfect circle, but is in the form of an ellipse with an ellipse of 1/60.
